Phenix Dog Park (small dog area)
About the Park
The small dog section is a fenced, separate area featuring a hillside with some tree cover and basic seating. However, recent visitors report significant maintenance issues including dirt surfaces, foxtails, and a fence gap at the entrance that allows escape. Multiple comments note it receives notably less attention and amenities than the larger dog section.
